Rocketlane
Effortless Time Tracking and Management
Top-Notch Onboarding, Support, and Customizable Client View
Centralized client projects have improved collaboration but task handling still needs refinement
What is our primary use case?
Rocketlane in my organization is mainly used to manage client-facing implementation projects, specifically in the Professional Services department, and it is the project management platform that we use to manage all of our customer-facing implementations.
A typical workflow is that a customer is sold, the booking is closed and passed to me, and I stand up our Rocketlane project plan template that has all of the customer's details from their ServiceNow and Salesforce onboarding integrations. From kickoff until project closure, all of their tasks are managed within Rocketlane.
The main use case is that our project plan is customer-facing, so it is an opportunity for the customer to follow along in the customer portal with their implementation, which hopefully reduces friction.
What is most valuable?
The best features that Rocketlane offers include automated workflows for getting feature request approvals, change request approvals, and escalating risks. I appreciate that Rocketlane automates all of those communications and gets them to the right executive stakeholders for decisioning and actioning.
Rocketlane has positively impacted my organization by providing project managers and the PMO with a single source of truth, allowing us to see each other's projects and utilizations, share templates, track our time together, and unify us as a team.
What needs improvement?
One of the most frustrating things about Rocketlane is that for new tasks not part of the template, if they are not assigned a duration, moving the date range of a phase does not automatically move those tasks. I also wish Rocketlane Sheets allowed for expanding the width and height of rows in the same way as Google Sheets or Microsoft Sheets.
Rocketlane has a fairly decent AI product, but the issues I have with it are more about the way my organization builds the prompts. It could be vastly improved, and I would love it if a Rocketlane product manager reached out to my leadership to help improve those prompts.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Rocketlane since November 2025, which is approximately seven months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, Rocketlane is stable, but being a web-based software, there are typical issues such as transient network issues that can arise.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Rocketlane is totally scalable, and I love it as a scalable product.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support at Rocketlane is amazing, and I would rate the customer support a ten or even an eleven, as it is the best of any product I have ever used.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Rocketlane, I used Microsoft Project, and the reason to switch was based on a recommendation from my leader.
What other advice do I have?
While I do not know that Rocketlane has specifically saved time, reduced errors, or improved customer satisfaction, it has absolutely surfaced customer communication, allowing us to receive customer feedback almost instantaneously on tasks and milestones. This proactive insight has allowed us to course-correct where customer satisfaction has been lower than desirable.
When I joined NICE, the process for highlighting risks included creating a ServiceNow ticket for an incident, filling out a risk form, attaching that to an email, and sending it to an executive who may or may not check their inbox, which resulted in no tracking of risk mitigation. However, with Rocketlane, I enter that risk into a form within a task, and a communication is generated to my leader that I am escalating the risk. Every week my manager is able to filter down to risks on the portfolio and see each project manager's risk across her portfolio with the tasks associated to them, which has been incredibly helpful because no one is asking me where my risk documentation is.
I advise others looking into using Rocketlane to really understand their project process and implementation process before building anything in Rocketlane.
I love the webinars and fun videos that Rocketlane produces. They are very fresh and create excitement around the brand, which is really appealing because project management tools can be very dry.
I provided an overall review rating of seven out of ten.

Rocketlane: Intuitive, Reliable Project Delivery with Powerful Real-Time Integrations
Rocketlane's interface is designed with simplicity in mind — all essential menus like project tracking, task management, and client collaboration are organized intuitively on the dashboard. Unlike other tools where I'd spend time hunting through nested menus, everything in Rocketlane is just a click away. This has significantly reduced the time our team spends on administrative tasks, allowing us to focus more on actual project delivery.
Maintenance & Support:
The platform requires minimal upkeep, which is a huge win for our team. We don't need a dedicated admin to manage it. Whenever we've reached out to their support team, the responses have been quick, knowledgeable, and solution-oriented — making troubleshooting almost effortless.
Integrations:
What truly sets Rocketlane apart is its integration ecosystem. The Workato integration alone streamlined our data flow between multiple tools, but the real game-changer was their exposed custom connector. It allowed us to build tailored integrations specific to our tech stack without relying on third-party developers. Additionally, all triggers operate in real-time, which means our automated workflows execute instantly — no delays, no missed updates.
Unexpected Benefit:
One thing I didn't anticipate was how the real-time triggers combined with the custom connector would eliminate manual status updates across platforms. What used to take our team 30+ minutes of daily syncing is now fully automated.
Overall:
I genuinely haven't found any gaps in their system. Rocketlane delivers a complete, reliable, and efficient experience for managing client projects end to end.
After implementing Rocketlane, everything related to onboarding — tasks, communication, documents, and timelines — lives in one centralized platform. Client collaboration became seamless, as customers can see exactly where they are in the process without chasing us for updates.
As a result, our onboarding cycle time has noticeably reduced, team accountability has improved since every task has clear ownership, and our clients feel more confident and engaged throughout the journey. What used to require juggling 3-4 tools now happens effortlessly within a single platform.
